When i posted keerai kootu recipe , a reader told me to post palak keerai kootu.As i had not tried it before , i asked my MIL on how to make it. She told me to saute the leaves and cook to avoid the slimy texture. I tried that way and it worked great. We loved it with vatha kuzhambu.

Oh fortunately I came upon this recipe and tried it. Thanks for such a delicious recipe. I even tried it with coconut green chillies and jeera paste instead of using sambar powder and arisi maavu. That was also yummy. Thanks again.
